Many have shed, but quite a few are still carrying around here.
I have not been that fortunate this year and am having (probably) the worst shed season since I first started doing it. I can easily count how many sheds I found this year using my fingers, only on one hand too
Not a single set for me either. Hopefully, it will turn around once snow is gone.
To make things even worse for me, I have a permission to walk around a field that is visited by the highest quantity of different mature mule bucks I have ever seen. It seems to be the only field with wheat still standing in the area and it seems that everyone comes for a visit. The funny thing is though, all of them feed there every night and sometimes day, many have their bedding right there as well (why would you leave, right?); but they all leave to shed elsewhere
I found two sheds on that field so far.
I have also noticed that many bucks walk around with one antler for days! (most of them are left, btw
) No wonder I can't complete a single set.
And finally, I still have not found a shed from a whitetail this year
Now that the rant is over, I found this one today. Probably from an older fella: it is short, but extremely thick.
Much thicker than a pop can at the base. And I have never seen the owner before.
I did not have a pop can, so I took a picture with my hand/wrist, which it easily covers. Now that I think about it, I should have taken one with the bottle of beer I took one of the previous pictures with for comparison, but too lazy to do it now (and yes, I still have that beer
)
Good luck to ya'll going out this weekend!
